Preston Chess Congress
The 2020 Congress?
As you might imagine weather there is a 33rd Preston Chess congress in 2020 is uncertain at the moment. If the venue is available, if we are allowed to hold it and if anyone wants to play in it, and when we can avoid it clashing with the 4ncl or the British Rapid then maybe it will happen. But unlikely to decide anytime soon.
There will be a bookstall provided by Chess Direct
